Muscle

To build muscle, one must understand the components required to maximize the body 's muscle building process. Aside from sheer hard work and dedication, there are four main components. Nutrition, hydration, training, and protein synthesis which is the biological process does the muscle building. Each component is an absolute requirement for this topic, and will be analyzed independently, to show how collectively, they work together to create optimal conditions for muscle growth. The first and…

Muscle can be damaged whether it be from sports injuries or other accidents. When this muscle damage occurs, the body responds accordingly in order to regenerate this lost or injured muscle. There are three main steps that are necessary in order for this renewal to occur. These steps include inflammation, revascularization/satellite cell differentiation, and innervation. (Grounds, 2011) This paper will discuss the mechanisms the body uses in order to form regenerated skeletal muscle. Muscle…

Muscle fibres. There are three types of muscle fibres; type 1, type 2a and type 2b. A. Type 1: These fibres are slow twitch or slow oxidative fibres and are red due to the presence of large volumes of myoglobin. They contract slowly but can contract repeatedly over long periods. These fibres would be suitable for an athlete such as a marathon runner because this is an endurance sporting event that requires you to use aerobic energy which relies on oxygen from the blood for the supply of energy.…

of muscle groups since it involves many movements during a tennis completion. It takes a lot of dedication and determination to become a successful tennis player. The movement of muscle groups can get intense and if done incorrectly, it could destroy their chances of making a career out of the sport. Tennis also requires a high amount of agility, quick reflexes, flexibility and aerobic and anaerobic conditioning. Since there are so many techniques and movements in the sport, different muscles…

throbbing muscles the following morning. Do you wear sore muscles as a symbol of honor, or does it put a spanner in your arrangements for the day ahead? Whatever you association with torment, the post workout headache, or DOMS (Deferred Onset Muscle Soreness) as it is medicinally termed, is a reality you may need to work your way through - regardless of how fit or dynamic you may be. You see regardless of how badly designed muscle soreness may be, it is really a sign that your muscles are…

experiencing muscle fatigue. The main factor for muscle fatigue is the accumulation of lactic acid that builds up due to muscles working. Thus, the type of exercise you conduct can have a a major impact on muscle fatigue. Question: Hypothesis: In regards to whether you should exercise or rest first before squeezing a clothespin to receive higher results, you should rest first. This is because if you rest you maintain more ATP (energy) and lactic acid won't build up causing muscle…

Purpose: Do you know what happens to your body and muscles when undergoing anaerobic respiration? “During anaerobic respiration, less energy is released than during aerobic. This is because the breakdown of glucose is not complete. What it does to your muscles is it releases much less energy than it needs. Due to this, anaerobic respiration produces an oxygen debt that is the amount of oxygen needed to oxidise lactic acid to carbon dioxide and water”…

Muscle tissue Comparing skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle tissue Common things between the structures of cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle The skeletal tissue and cardiac muscle tissue both are part of muscle tissue. The cells in cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle are made up of fibres. The fibres in both of these muscles are striated. The fibres in both of these tissue have a similar kind of shape and appearance. Differences between the structures of cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle The…

undesirable plane, another purpose they serve is that they limit the range or extent of normal movement (Wallace 2013). Unlike ligaments where the bone might be attached to another, tendons are fibrous tissue connecting the bones to the surrounding muscle. With this in mind, there are three types of joints that are classified by how much movement they allow. The first type is known as immovable joints, this involves two or more bones being fused together (Wallace 2013). A…

The preservation of muscle mass, strength and metabolic function is an important nutritional component that tends to be overlooked in dietary intake recommendations to maximize health. This paper will examine how physical activity, proper diet and beneficial lifestyle behaviors contribute to optimal health; while a reduction in muscle mass, by lack of exercise, can result in poor health or disease (Keys 1950). I will also consider possible solutions to prevent muscle loss, and the benefits of…
